2 Joseph's Flax & Oat Bran pita pockets topped with 1/4 cup pasta sauce of your choice and 1/2 cup Kraft fat free shredded mozzarella Comes out to about 240 calories and about 30 grams of protein :)

MFP's default settings tend to be higher carb/lower protein than a lot of people prefer. I do 45C/25P/30F but I usually go over my goal on protein! :)

Some of the responses you've gotten on this have incorrect information. "Toned" means your body fat percentage is low enough to show your muscles/abs. Honestly the most efficient way to achieve this is to lift weights while eating at a slight calorie deficit. Look into the program Starting Strength - it's easy to follow.…

Yes definitely start now, but increase your calories a bit. (Maybe by 150-200?)

Try googling gymnast workouts. My sister is a gymnast and has formed soo much muscle just doing bodyweight exercises. She's never lifted in her life and she looks awesome. I've googled and youtubed searched gymnastics workout and I've found some great moves to steal for my workouts!

Ehh only 500 calories in a day doesn't sound healthy to me =\ And eating that little food one day just makes it seem too likely you'll just go way over on your "feast day." And I don't think that's really sustainable in the long-run. I think a moderate daily deficit with healthy food choices is the best way to go. No need…

I for sure will. Just probably not on the actual day of Christmas...that's family time!

I know it's kind of expensive but I really recommend getting a fitbit and wearing it every day...it's helped me soo much with maintenance because I can know how many calories I burned each day and thus whether I was over or under. It's much more accurate than a calculator in my opinion. With that being said, I'm the same…

Nah. I plan on jumping on the treadmill for half an hour before my family arrive. Might as well earn myself a few extra calories - I know I'll be needing them!

I have the Fitbit One and I LOVE it. It makes knowing how many calories I can eat in a day so much easier and way more accurate.

A basic way to sum it up: How much you eat = whether you gain or lose (weight) What you eat = how your body looks with that gain or loss (body composition)

I'm maintaining now but I've always done once a week. I skip my weigh in during the week of my period though, as I know it will show a gain due to water weight. I don't want to feel discouraged by seeing that so I just skip it.

I completely understand. I am 5'0 and more than a year ago I lost about 15 lbs to get to my goal weight of 105. I felt so skinny and awesome for a few months, then it kind of wore off and in my head I was still "the chubby girl." Then, due to stress and finals and lack of appetite in May 2013 I unintentionally lost 7…

I always have a huge breakfast at the dining hall (I'm in college) because it needs to give me energy to last until my classes are done for the day. My usual: 1. bowl of oatmeal 2. fruit (usually either cantaloupe or green grapes depending on what the dining hall has) 3. Whole wheat english muffin with peanut butter 4. 3…

Liver...I just don't see how eating the organ responsible for removing the bad crap in your body could be good for you in any way. Disgusting!

I'll go all out on the actual days of Thanksgiving and Christmas. I really don't believe the body can even process a weight gain from one day of eating. But, I'll limit it to just those two days. Every other day it will be logging and healthy foods!

I've done a pretty good job lowering my body fat percentage. I eat at a very slight deficit (about -50 calories a day), aim for 100 grams of protein, do weight training 2 days a week and cardio 3 days. I also started eating slightly less carbs and staying away from any kind of white bread/pasta.

Congratulations! I'd say you should probably talk to your doctor or nutritionist about a food plan, I would trust their advice a lot more than anyone on MFP. Good luck!!

1 hour body pump class plus a long walk to class and back!

But your profile says you want your hip bones and ribs back...?

Mix a can of pumpkin with angel food cake mix! Not too high-calorie.

The program is designed to be your sole exercise regime for the two months. However, if you enjoy your strength training you might want to continue that in addition to insanity. I say this because month 1 is focused much more on cardio/burning calories to lose weight than on toning/strength. Month 2 has a lot more moves…

1. whole wheat english muffins 2. peanut butter 3. protein powder 4. greek yogurt 5. blueberries 6. strawberries 7. Balance protein bars 8.almond milk 9. special k cereal 10. broccoli

According to my fitbit I get about 250 per pump class, and 350-400 for combat.

It all depends on your height, weight, age, and how much effort you are putting into the exercise. A VERY rough estimate I would use for insanity is about 300 or 350 calories per workout (month 2 workouts burn a lot more, recovery week video burns less, etc).

I think a problem might be that none of those foods you listed are very filling...that's probably why you still feel hungry. Find something with more protein and fiber to keep you full.

Currently a French major.

1450 (a 100 calorie a day defecit) 55% carbs 25% fat 20% protein

I've noticed the past few days my calculations have been seem in inaccurate. Usually besides that it seems pretty accurate. Maybe the site is having issues?
